I hope someone comes forward to maintain the MSSQL code, I REALY liked working
with it ... it gives a good alternative in MS_Windows for MySQL. Like on linux
you have PostgreSQL (Witch is great!!) and MySQL. It just a matter of witch
database is best suitable for opensimulator and features yet to come ....
